# DESCRIPTION
This distribution contains the code necessary to write [MaxMind DB database
files](http://maxmind.github.io/MaxMind-DB/). See [MaxMind::DB::Writer::Tree](https://metacpan.org/pod/MaxMind::DB::Writer::Tree)
for API docs.
# MAC OS X SUPPORT
If you're running into install errors under Mac OS X, you may need to force a
build of the 64 bit binary. For example, if you're installing via `cpanm`:
ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" cpanm MaxMind::DB::Writer
# WINDOWS SUPPORT
This distribution does not currently work on Windows. Reasonable patches for
Windows support are very welcome. You will probably need to start by making
[Math::Int128](https://metacpan.org/pod/Math::Int128) work on Windows, since we use that module's C API for dealing
with 128-bit integers to represent IPv6 addresses numerically.
# SUPPORT
